What amazing personal strength to be able to care for a Downs Syndrome child. I sometimes wonder if I would have such strength and patience. I guess that doesn't speak to well for me.

God bless this family, the Palins, and the McCains.

What it does...is probably reflect what most reasonable people would think.

My cousin's very young daughter had a Downs boy....albeit unexpected.

The boy is loved. Absolutely.

Is he a challenge? Absolutely.

Is he a joy? Absolutely.

Life isn't smooth.........

You would. Have you ever met a parent of such a child who wanted to give their child back? "Be not afraid"...
